    Oil drain plug and Fumoto accessibility

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    If I install a Fumoto valve to replace the drain plug, is it accessible with the splash shields in place so I can just pop a tube on and drain the oil without removing the shields again?

    I'm torn between the Air Power America 5060 and the Fumoto F-106N valve for my car.

    TIA guys!

    It is not accessible with the skid on. You still need to drop it.

    Take it to a valvoline instant oil change location and let them "mod" it for you....gives you full access to the drain plug
